LEARNING TO DRIVE

How do I steer the car?

Decision Maker → Learner Driver

QUICK ANSWER

Steering should be smooth and controlled. Look toward where you want the vehicle to travel and use small corrections rather than constantly fighting the wheel.

WHAT THAT MEANS

Your visual attention strongly affects steering. Looking too close can make control less stable.

SUPPORTING ANSWER SECTIONS

Look where you want to go
Keep attention farther down the intended path.

Use small corrections
Most normal driving requires small adjustments.

Finish the turn
Guide the vehicle back into the correct position as the wheel straightens.

DRIVEx WAY OF THINKING
